a book about the little critters learning to recycle and take care of the environment
1 book

This Little Critter book delivered a pretty powerful message about recycling and taking care of the Earth. The words and illustrations would help any child in kindergarten or higher to understand the moral being taught. In some instances, I felt too much was going on; whether it be a crowded drawing or crammed text. Overall, I felt it was a good book. ( )

Summary- His teacher teaches him about saving the earth. He goes home and teaches his family about it,then his class has a competition of who can do the most good things.His family wins and they have a party and plant a tree!

Personal Reaction-It's good that a little kid book teaches you at a young age that we need to care of the planet earth.

Class Extension 1-Teach the students ways to help keep the earth clean maybe have a competition like they did in they book.

Class Extension 2-Celebrate Earth Day at school! ( )

I would use this book to teach about the importance of the Earth and Earth day!
